Just came back from Big Walk with 2nd sis. It was fun, but now both my legs ache!
Anyway, the whole route was 10km, with a "turning point" at The Fullerton Hotel. Saw Yeh Hao and friends at somewhere there. We were stopped sometimes at the traffic lights by the road marshals. In a professional way, that broke our momentum. In a commoner way, those were opportunities for us to rest. It wasn't that tiring actually, cos the weather was extremely fine and you just keep walking and walking.
We reached National Stadium at 6.05am, way before road closes, started walking at 7.40am, and came back at around 9.30am. It was quite fast actually. We "paraded" past Suntec City, the Concourse, Keypoint, Esplanade, etc, on roads that are usually meant for cars and not us. Such a Poisson distribution. Haha.
Saw how the people snatched and I really mean SNATCHED for the free Anlene Yoghurt. Standing somewhere near, I was pushed many times by the yoghurt-hungry aunites and uncles. So un-glam. I mean them, not me. I don't eat yoghurt one...I hear those officials shouting to those snatchers: "Don't snatch, if you snatch, we won't give. Don't push, please queue, this is Singapore..." Precisely, this is Sinagpore, thats why people are doing that. Its only yoghurt lah. Maybe one day they can become potential snatch-thieves, since they are so pro at snatching. Haha. No offense.
Will I participate again next year? Maybe. See if there's anybody free to accompany me lor. Haha.
